Discussion

PSInclude Remote Arbitrary Command Execution Vulnerability

psInclude has been reported prone to a remote arbitrary command execution vulnerability.

The psInclude cgi application receives and processes one URI parameter, this parameter is named "template". Due to a lack of sufficient sanitization performed on the "template" parameter, it is possible for an attacker to supply shell metacharacters and commands as its value.

A remote attacker may exploit this condition to execute arbitrary commands in the context of the web server that is hosting the vulnerable application.
